What do you mean, Mr. Filch?"
Cedric doesn't understand what the other party means?
Is it because I asked him to take care of the newcomers, and then he became unhappy?
never mind.
If he doesn't want to, I won't force him anymore.
It seemed that it would be difficult to make him popular among the new students. He might as well concentrate on researching the drug to break the squib.
"No, no, no! It's not like that!"
Filch waved his hands repeatedly, with some embarrassed embarrassment on his face.
He turned around with some restraint, facing away from the first-year student in front of him, and then took out a small red delicate card from his pocket.
Cedric wanted to pick it up.
Filch carefully avoided his hand.
"I will do it myself!"
Rough hands gently untied the silk greeting card.
Filch spread out the greeting card as if offering a treasure, and then unfolded the card with both hands.
Fingertips point to sign.
"Look, this is my name, Mr. Filch, and this is the card Tyne gave me!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Only then did Cedric react.
He remembered the name Tyne, one of the eleven Muggle family wizards. It seemed that when his family sent him to school, they taught him some "little tricks" after school.
I also received many similar gadgets at the door.
Cedric remembered.
He had already introduced Hagrid and Filch at that time, and they probably remembered them right away. They even wrote his name specifically and used the greeting card as a "little gift."
Although this kind of flattery is not worth promoting.
But it has become a supporting point for Filch's transformation.
Cedric immediately encouraged: "Look, sometimes it's not that hard to be liked, right?"
"But I..."
Filch subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.
Come to think of it, he also knows that his appearance is not liked by others!
"okay!"
Cedric held his hand: "You couldn't tell me that the student who sent you the greeting card just now couldn't see you!"
Watching the team in front of me go further and further away.
Cedric could only hold Filch and talk while walking.
"Of course, it would be nice if the appearance could be cleaner!"
"I, what else can I do?"
Filch carefully put away the greeting card and followed Cedric quietly.
"You are caretaker of hogwarts . There is so much you can do if you want to!"
Cedric had already thought about this.
But he didn't expect it.
I will have the opportunity so soon to guide Filch to do this:
"For example, many students will be troubled by moving stairs and even delay class!"
"I-I can tell them how to go!"
"Also, remember what I said before? Punishment does not gain respect. Of course you will be punished for violating school rules, but you can..."
"You can tell them the dangers!"
Filch shook his hands.
He repeated everything he had heard from Cedric before but did not really understand.
"Every school rule has a reason behind it!"
"For example, it's forbidden to hang out outside at night!"
"It happened before. A young wizard named Latral was wandering outside and accidentally encountered a magic trap and was seriously injured..."
"Like the forbidden book zone!"
"There was a little wizard who chanted the spell above randomly and ended up with a lizard's head on his head and spent half a semester in the infirmary."
"There are a lot more..."
"I want to warn them and make them truly aware of the dangers."
"When punishing, you can also tell them about the unknown history of Hogwarts..."
The two talked all the way.
Hagrid led everyone down a steep and narrow path.
The oil lamp in his hand illuminated the surrounding area for at most three meters. The team behind them almost all used the moonlight to grope in the darkness with one foot lower and one foot higher.
Because Filch had an oil lamp in his hand.
Several students leaned here subconsciously.
"Go!"
Cedric bumped into Filch.
"Ah, oh, oh!"
Filch raised the oil lamp in his hand high, and then walked forward into the second half of the line.
"Children, come here, I have an oil lamp here!"
"Watch your step."
"Just around the corner, you can see Hogwarts for the first time!"
Hagrid, who was at the front of the team, had no choice but to look back.
I told you my words, what should I do?
In desperation, Hagrid had no choice but to stand at the corner and open his arms to everyone:
"Welcome to Hogwarts!!!"
A black lake suddenly opened up at the end of the path.
Everyone looked up.
Looking around, there is a high hillside on the other side of Lake, and a towering castle stands on the hillside.
There are many castle spiers.
Warm yellow candlelight spilled out through the window.
"Each boat can seat up to four people!"
Hagrid jumped on a boat himself.
Filch seemed to have enlightened himself now. He stood on the shore and helped every student get on the boat.
I even had a fight with two students.
[Ding, you look like a true gentleman on the outside, attract people to do good, and inspire Filch to really start helping others. You will be rewarded with 1,000 experience points. ]
"Very good, but in the end I end up on a boat by myself?"
Cedric complained.
But for the sake of experience points, this is bearable.
Then he put on Hagrid's simulation card, walked alone in a small boat, and rowed quickly towards Hogwarts.
soon.
Hogwarts continues to magnify in everyone's eyes.
in this era.
Such a magnificent building can indeed give people a huge shock.
Perhaps, freshmen must row into Hogwarts just to leave this imprint on their hearts.
certainly.
Cedric just thought it was beautiful.
At the same time, he was also muttering in his heart: "Hogwarts is full of mysterious magic. It should be different this time, right?"
The boat carried everyone through the ivy curtain to the secret open entrance. Along the dark passage, they arrived at the underground dock.
Climbing dozens of steps.
After landing on a ground paved with gravel and cobblestones.
Everyone has officially entered Hogwarts.
